From a fully vowelled text
اَلشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ يَظْلُمَانِ، وَالنُّجُومُ تَحْجُزُ لَمَعَانَهَا.The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.Joel 3:15, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
سَبِّحِيهِ يَا أَيَّتُهَا الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ. سَبِّحِيهِ يَا جَمِيعَ كَوَاكِبِ النُّورِ.Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.Psalms 148:3, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
قَبْلَ مَا تَظْلُمُ الشَّمْسُ وَالنُّورُ وَالْقَمَرُ وَالنُّجُومُ، وَتَرْجعُ السُّحُبُ بَعْدَ الْمَطَرِ.While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:Ecclesiastes 12:2, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
